You may need to drop an index if you see a negative performance impact, want to replace it with a new index, or no longer need the index.
You can drop any index except the default index on the _id field. To drop the _id index, you must drop the entire collection.
To drop an index, you need its name. To get all index names for a collection, run the getIndexes() method
db.<collection>.dropIndex('<indexName>')
db.<collection>.dropIndexes( [ '<index1>', '<index2>', '<index3>' ] )
